21 Days Of Pull-Ups!

Why do we care about pull-ups? Because they’re the single most important conditioning exercise for aerial work (click here & I’ll tell you why). A few rules: 1) don’t hurt yourself. Work hard, but be mindful of pushing to injury. 2) Use a chair underneath you to assist as necessary, helping you to complete the full range of motion. 3) be exceedlingly conscious of maintaining proper form: lats engaged (shoulders pulled down and away from the ears), joints in line. If you experience anything more than normal muscle soreness and fatigue, stop immediately and consult a medical professional.

Depends on your bar! Just do the best you can – shorten your range of movement if you have to. If you have one with the protruding handles, grab as close to one of those as you can. Hope that helps a bit! 🙂

Thanks for your input, Richard! About 97% of my readers are women, so try not to think of it as sexist so much as talking to the majority of my readers. But yes – I will certainly try to include you gentlemen more often! 😉 Enjoy the challenge (though with your current routine, I’m not sure it will be much of a challenge!)
